Most people have been exposed to teeth whitening. As a multi-billion dollar industry, you can get products that claim to whiten your teeth grocery stores in Fort Lauderdale and do it yourself whitening kits are a dime a dozen. There is an exact science that goes into whitening teeth properly, which is why you should see us, as a cosmetic dentist, if you want to make sure that your teeth are whitened correctly. As professionals, we can work the science in your favor, and use solutions not available at your local drugstore.

Teeth whitening works on a principle of light reflection. All natural light is white, so the brain sees color based on the angle at which an object reflects light. In the case of your teeth, we want the tooth itself to be as translucent as possible, which allows the light to reflect in its most natural and hence brightest white state. When stains or discoloration are formed on your teeth, they change the angle of the reflection to appear more yellow or brown. Using a peroxide-based solution we can cause the release of free radicals in the enamel of the tooth, which causes the tooth to revert to a more translucent state and, in a matter of hours, appear to be whiter.
